Wilbur Wright

Leaves fall, 
and soon will
My death. 

Without a 
Calamity. 

Rocks thrown
by the prostitute
In my own stoning. 

But I'm not worried. 

My heartbeat continues, 
Until I'm done
Helping with the 
Paraplegic that 
Was abused. 

In that public
school I pretended
I knew Christ. 

And like any liberal
I believe in the mission
Without consequence
And with the flowers
of forgiveness.
